Where Optery is genuinely strong
- • Best-in-class exposure transparency (screenshots of your listings)
- • Free tier genuinely useful for self-service
- • Unlimited name-variant scanning
The gaps we fill
- • Core tier hard-caps removals at ONE name + one city/state - households and maiden-name situations literally do not fit
- • Explicitly no human agent even at $40/mo
- • Unlimited name-variant scanning means unlimited false positives: records of other people with your name get flagged as 'you'

Choose Optery if…
You want to SEE your exposures for free and remove a single name yourself - Optery's free report is the best mirror in the industry.
The step none of them take: identity resolution.
Removal tools delete what matches your name. If someone with your name is more famous than you, their records pollute your report - and yours hide behind theirs. We resolve who is who first, then remove, then prove it quarterly in writing.
